CHOCOLATE PEAR HAZELNUT TART
As a teenage foreign exchange student in the south of France, I was horribly homesick. Then my host family's Grandmother Miette arrived and asked if I'd like to help her bake this nutty tart from scratch. It turned my trip around and inspired my lifelong passion for baking. Weighing ingredients, roasting nuts, kneading dough-the art of baking transcends language. -Lexi McKeown, Los Angeles, California
